HP issued a request for proposals (RFP) from K20 schools to receive equipment and support for using mobile technologies in teaching and learning.

The HP Technology for Teaching Grant Initiative is designed to support innovative and effective uses of technology in the classroom setting. In 2007, HP will grant awards to K–12 public schools that are using a collaborative, team-based approach to implementing technology integration projects. The activities of the project must be focused on using technology to teach, rather than on teaching students to use technology.

HP will select teams of five teachers from approximately 130 K12 schools.

Higher education awards go to institutions meeting different criteria.

The value of each grant award to each school is at least $30,000.
